Area: Zone 4

Date: 3/11/2011

“The Atlanta Police Department accepted the resignation of the E911 Center’s director on Monday. The APD will have no further comment on the personnel matter. It is important to note, however, that the E911 Center is fully operational, answering citizen emergency calls and dispatching emergency personnel within accepted national standards. So far in 2011, 92 percent of 911 calls have been answered within 10 seconds, exceeding the 90 percent target set by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA). The assistant director will be running the center in the interim.”
